Filter mesh rail module, cleaning component, air conditioner indoor unit, and air conditioner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing air conditioner indoor units face inconvenience in detecting the function of the filter screen due to the requirement of the filter screen rail module to be assembled with the face frame, making it difficult to test the filter screen's functionality before the unit is assembled.
Innovation Solution
The filter screen rail module is designed as a separate component that can be installed with the cleaning module before assembly, allowing for the detection of the filter screen's function independently of the face frame, using a rail system with first and second rails and intermediate grilles that enable the filter screen to move and be cleaned effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the filter screen rail module is integrated with the face frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the detection of filter screen function becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The filter screen rail module is separated from the face frame into an independent modular component. This segmentation allows the rail module to be tested and detected separately before final assembly, resolving the detection difficulty while maintaining structural stability through proper mounting design.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter screen rail module is designed to be pre-assembled and pre-tested with the filter screen before being installed in the face frame. This preliminary action enables functional detection to occur prior to final assembly, eliminating the need for post-assembly detection while ensuring structural integrity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the filter screen rail module is assembled with the face frame, then the assembly completeness is improved, but the production efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the air conditioner into modular components (face frame, filter screen rail module, cleaning module), each can be manufactured and tested independently, then quickly assembled. This segmentation improves production efficiency while ensuring assembly completeness through standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter screen rail module is pre-assembled and pre-tested before being installed in the face frame. This preliminary action allows functional detection to occur during module assembly rather than after complete assembly, significantly improving production efficiency while maintaining assembly completeness.
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If the filter screen rail module is separated from the face frame, then the detection convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The separation of the filter screen rail module from the face frame creates distinct functional modules with standardized interfaces. While this increases the number of components, it simplifies detection by allowing independent testing of each module, and the standardized interfaces reduce the complexity of reassembly and integration.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a filter screen rail module, a cleaning member, an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and an air conditioner. The filter screen rail module is applied to the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a face frame defining an air inlet. The filter screen rail module is disposed adjacent to the air inlet, the filter screen rail module is separable from the face frame, and the filter screen rail module is provided with a rail in which the filter screen moves. The technical solution of the present disclosure can perform function detection on the filter screen before the indoor unit of the air conditioner is assembled.
